I am a lecturer at the Computer Science department. When I am not engaged in teaching, I help artificial agents and robots learn how to engage with humans.

With expertise in robotics, conversational AI, and user experience research, I design how people perceive and interact with intelligent systems. From building humanoid soccer robots to shaping Disney’s next level interactive experiences, my work bridges cutting-edge technology with real-world impact. In 2025 I joined the University of Mainz to teach the next generation of computer scientists how to build machines that really work for people.
